MooWee Plays Inter­net TV with Your Wii

MooWee is an appli­ca­tion that lets you watch Inter­net TV con­tent on your tele­vi­sion screen using your Nin­tento Wii game con­sole. You’ll need an Inter­net broad­band con­nec­tion with a min­i­mum band­width of 384kbps as well as an Inter­net browser on your Wii con­sole in order to hook this up to your television.…

The MooWee ser­vice can be enjoyed online as well. MooWee is of course an alter­na­tive to other set top devices like Apple TV, and other game con­soles like the Xbox, which has recently indi­cated that it would like to work with th BBC on pro­vid­ing con­tent for users. Sony is another com­pany that’s look­ing to be more com­pet­i­tive in this mar­ket, and will be using a col­lec­tion of devices and ser­vices to do so. Other ser­vices include Build­ing B and Jaman. Stum­ble­V­ideo offers a sim­i­lar ser­vice for Nin­tendo Wii.” [Mash­able]

Any­one tried any of these ser­vices on the Wii yet? If I have time this weekend.…

  3. So what? I can any­way look tv with my opera on Wii. Why do I need MooWii?

  4. Is this any­thing like Sling­box which turns your com­puter into your cable remote con­trol and your mon­i­tor into the tv. Basi­cally you can record some­thing to your DVR and then access it (or have some­one with your user­name and pass­word access it) any­where in the world. Its great for those of us with­out a TV in the bed­rooms but who have great laptops.

    Can we say poten­tial copy­right prob­lems anyone?

    Does any­one have expe­ri­ence with Slingbox?

  5. Hi, Steve — no, it’s really not. I’m intrigued by Sling­box — I know some­one who has one and loves it. The new model came out this month, and I’m seri­ously con­sid­er­ing it.
